CHEESY
BOOTS

Trail mix is another reason that I don’t hike. Well, that and the shoes. My girlfriends and I are scheduled to hike up to LeConte Lodge in May of 2012. At an elevation of 6593′, I’m clearly going to have to give up the stilettos, but I’m still hoping I can smuggle some brie and pate in my backpack. Maybe the folks sponsoring this next Call might have some suggestions. Maybe I’ll ask…

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed 2012

Posted on November 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BOTTOMS UP

Call me closed minded, but there are somethings that I am not interested in eating. Nature is in my face here in the Great Smoky Mountains, and we eat local honey for its ability to help reduce our allergies. However, I am not drinking poison ivy tea everyday for 6 weeks to reduce my chance of breaking out in a rash. People do it. I went on a guided hike and listened to my naturalist explain the ritual to me. Call me crazy, but you shouldn’t eat anything whose name starts with “poison”. Some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries is proof that others think the same. Read on…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dogwood Gallery for the 4th showing of Nature, Undisturbed. Here’s a chance to show your work and help out nature conservation at the same time. Bonus…last year they sold a significant portion of the work! Take a look…

REMINDER: The Built Environment

Posted on November 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GLORIOUS
GÂTEAUX!

Build it, and I will eat. I stand in awe of pastry chefs. Most of the ones I know are delightfully batty (industry rumor is that the flour makes you a little off center). I love that their creations are often part art, part architechture. If you don’t think how something looks affects how it tastes, you are clearly eating ugly food. This next Call wants to see the built environment that inspires you. But HURRY, the deadline is fast approaching…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called The Built Environment. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.

HUMBLE PIE

There is more to San Francisco cuisine than Rice-A-Roni. The last time I used the rice/San Francisco food reference, I got more than a few emails from readers that thought it was a bit on the shallow side. My apologies. San Francisco is noted for being home to some of the best restaurants in the US, like Perbacco (no, they are not a sponsor). So, if you find yourself looking for a dinner reservation before the opening of the show for this Call, consider it recommended. Next…

SCARY,
FURRY FOOD

Sometimes you just have to eat it. Food can be scary AND wonderful. You will never know until you eat it. Someone had to eat the first kiwi fruit, the first coconut, and the first peanut. Be brave.

I just want you to remember that sometimes, just sometimes, you have to be brave…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Human Form

Posted on November 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

A SOUL of SALMON

I believe that I am what I have eaten. I have learned that the contents of my diet directly informs my mood, energy level, and even my creative tendencies. I love fried chicken as much as the next sad and depressed person, but I have learned that fried chicken doesn’t make it better. Beet salad and blanched ‘n’ chilled asparagus and the perfect piece of salmon can transform my body and my mind. If you believe that people are what they eat, then this next Call is a smorgasboard. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Human Form

Our bodies:
forbidden, subverted, suppressed.

Our bodies:
elevated, venerated, and sanctified.

The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension. What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts; the Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.

The Human Form,
simple yet subtly complex,
always present yet hidden,
expose your vision.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, you must have a parent or legal guardian make the submission for you.

PUMPKIN
eater!

I am frugal, or cheap, depending on your viewpoint. I tend to love for so many reason, but mainly because the weather is much cooler. And, winter produce is much cheaper. I love root vegetables and squash of all sorts. Maybe I’ll take a trip to the pumpkin farm. Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and pancakes, you know? Try it in beef tangine instead of butternut squash. I’ll miss the fresh greens by Spring time, but that we make them taste all the better. This next call invites you to share a single image or your agricultural influence. Make me proud…

CALL for ENTRIES: Speaking Art Award

Posted on November 4, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

WILL YOU
berry ME?

Some foods speak for themselves and almost don’t need to be tasted. A beautiful mound of dark chocolate makes my mouth water before I ever taste or smell it. I can imagine the taste of ripe raspberries and blackberries by just conjuing the image in my head. Think about the psychologically healing power of chicken soup (or in my case, junk food). Food speaks, and so should your work. This next Call wants art that speaks. This could be a great year-long opportunity for you…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Speaking Art Award from SpeakingArtAward.com. In addition to the cash award for first place, ten additional winners also get commission-free, online representation for one year. Take a look at this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Speaking Art Award

ELIGIBILITY: Representation on the website is open to all artists worldwide. Each entry must be wholly designed and executed by the artist.

MEDIA: Painting, Drawing, Photography, and Digital Art

DEADLINE: December 31, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Winners will be announced in January 2012

ENTRY FEE: Artists may submit in more than 1 category by submitting multiple emails and paying the $25 fee for each entry. The $25 fee pays for 1 entry of up to 3 images. (If you enter in Drawing, you submit up to 3 images and pay $25 for the entire entry.)

JUROR: Internationally exhibited artist Flynn Geissel holds a deep passion for art and has been painting since 1997. The artist’s work has been exhibited in two American museums and in galleries throughout the nation. Serving two masters, the artist studied studio art and depth psychology, completing a doctoral degree in counseling psychology. During the study and practice of psychology, Geissel gravitated toward the domains of well-being, creativity, and the use of creative process as a healing tool. Discovering a wealth of artistic material in the study of dreams, the unconscious, and the healing stories of many cultures, the artist moved further into art as a life calling.

Equally proficient in the landscape as well as in abstract expressionism, Geissel’s work is a regular part of juried exhibits. Geissel’s work has also been exhibited at two Americal Museums including the July 2010 “Sensory Overload” exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and the Museum of the Living Artist in San Diego. The artist has also been exhibited internationally at The Brick Lane Gallery in London, UK.

AWARDS: The first place winner, Juror’s Choice, will be awarded $350 and artwork by this artist will be placed on the home page of the website. A second and third place winner will also be chosen. At least 2 winners will be chosen in each of the entry categories. Each of the 10 winners will have a gallery on the website; winners will submit 10 images in JPEG format for their gallery, bio, and artist statement.

SALES: Winning artists may provide prices for works exhibited. The website will include a contact page for buyers who would like to purchase work. Artists will handle their own sales with no commission by SpeakingArtAward.com.
